Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 322 This is a ring

After the deal with Tsunade, the executor of Konoha Village's 'physical enhancement surgery' business changed, and Orochimaru freed up time to place a clone in Sunagakure Village.

While making some extra money, it is also a way to keep in touch with Sunagakure Village. It is very convenient for you to get a handle on the other party at critical moments.

Just like now.

"Could it be that the Suna ninjas are dissatisfied with the results of my surgery?" Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of joking in his smile, "According to common sense, it shouldn't be. If we are in Konoha, this surgery is very busy.

time."

When Kazekage Luosha and Granny Chiyo heard this, their expressions were a little unnatural.

The opportunity to improve the village's strength is right in front of us, but because of financial problems, we have to sit back and watch it slip away. As a senior leader of a village, our position is really embarrassing.

But there is a saying that family scandals should not be made public. Orochimaru put this matter on the table, obviously to ridicule them, and it was actually a bit annoying.

"Orochimaru, Akira doesn't tell secrets." Granny Chiyo frowned and said in a deep voice, "You know a lot about my village's financial problems, so why come here and say such disgusting things."

After hearing what Chiyo said, Orochimaru didn't react at all, but Kazekage Rasa spoke first, "Elder, there is no need to say this. I think Orochimaru-dono came here because he has other things to say."

As he spoke, he looked directly at the smiling Orochimaru in front of him, "If you have anything to say, please just say it."

"Your Excellency Feng Ying is still transparent."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a smile, "I have a deal that requires the cooperation of the Suna ninjas. After the deal is completed, all Suna ninjas who need to undergo 'physical enhancement surgery' in the future will receive a 10% discount on the price."

"Are you telling the truth?" Granny Chiyo couldn't help but said.

For transactions between ordinary people, the 10% discount is not much benefit, but when it is magnified between villages, it is a huge flow of funds, and even Chiyo, as an elder, cannot help but be tempted.

A flash of light also flashed in the eyes of Feng Ying Luo Sha. He never expected that the other party would be such a bargaining chip that he could not refuse when he opened his mouth. However, as the shadow of a village, he still maintained some sense and did not agree directly.

"Your Excellency, please tell me what's going on first."

It has only been more than a week since the Akatsuki organization attacked Konoha. As a witness to that war, Rasa knew very well how terrifying the leader Payne was as an enemy. If Konoha wanted to counterattack the Akatsuki organization, Sunagakure would

As a helper, Luo Sha was a little unhappy.

In other words, the chips just now are not enough.

"Don't worry, this time it has nothing to do with Konoha, it's my personal entrustment."

Orochimaru pulled up a chair and sat down, leaning back slightly, and said with a smile, "This commission does not require fighting at all, it is just a formality and a show."

Kazekage Rasa and Chiyo also sat down and waited for the next chapter.

"I plan to trade dragon veins with the Queen of Loulan, but the people of Loulan are a little uncooperative."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "I can't kill them all directly with force, so I need you to cooperate with the show."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Kazekage and the elders of Sunagakure Village in front of him changed.

Loulan's Ordinary Dragon Vein is a piece of useless food for the village. It is a pity to throw it away if it is tasteless. However, the value of this thing itself is immeasurable, and in the Kingdom of Wind, there is no reason to hand it over to others.

Just because there is no way to use it now does not mean that there will be no way in the future. Although the village and Konoha are in the honeymoon period now, from a long-term perspective, this transaction should never go ahead.

But then again, there is no future without the present. Considering the current conditions of Sunagakure Village, the top priority is to get rid of the predicament and reverse the village's declining trend.

"Your Excellency Orochimaru, the value of dragon veins is immeasurable."

Feng Ying Luo Sha frowned and said in a deep voice, "If you want to exchange for the dragon vein with just such a small thing, you are underestimating the Sand Hidden Village."

In other words, not enough is given.

"Tsk... Indeed, the value is just a discount, but it is indeed far inferior to the dragon vein."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, but changed the topic, "But there is something that you may have misunderstood. The Dragon Vein does not belong to Sunagakure Village."

Feng Ying Luo Sha was slightly startled when he heard this.

Indeed, although Loulan is nominally within the Kingdom of Wind, the desert is vast and rarely inhabited. If no one objects, the territory of the Kingdom of Wind can extend all the way to the west, and even include Miaomu Mountain within the territory.

The reason why the Loulan people did not openly declare that they are equally independent is because they have some concerns about Shayin Village, but in fact they have no affiliation with the Kingdom of Wind.

The money paid regularly is more like protection fee than tax.

Of course, it can be said that Sand Hidden Village is a place where the natural resources and treasures are virtuous, and it is the last word to have a big fist.

But this can be said to the Loulan people, but not to Orochimaru. His fists are also very big. This kind of rhetoric will not solve any problem at all. On the contrary, it will break the relationship and lead to direct confrontation.

"I have confirmed the completion of the dragon vein transaction with Queen Loulan, and the corresponding price has been negotiated."

Orochimaru weaved lies without leaving any trace, but the logic in them was convincing, "Sunagakure Village is not a party to this transaction, but only the cost of the next hire. The discount on the surgery is more than enough."

"" Feng Ying Luo Sha frowned and found that it was difficult for him to refute.

Of course, this is not as perfect as Orochimaru said. Basically, Sunagakure Village is not Orochimaru, nor Konoha's opponent, it is far inferior.

In such a situation, if the other party is reasonable, they have to be reasonable, and there is no way they can use any means to overturn the table.

If the power of the enemy and ours were reversed, there would be no chance for the other party to say such nonsense. All he had to do was show off his muscles and let Orochimaru and Loulan know the truth that "the dragon's veins belong to Sunagakure Village".

"No, the village will never agree."

Granny Chiyo listened to the entire transaction and suddenly said categorically, "This is simply a humiliation to Sunagakure Village."

She also understood that the situation was stronger than the person, but temporary compromise was fine, but lowering her head to such an extent would damage the integrity of the Suna Ninja.

Having lived in Sunagakure Village all her life, Granny Chiyo knows very well what is most important to the village.

The price offered by Orochimaru can be said to be very generous, but the transaction itself is obviously on the territory of the Kingdom of Wind, but it has to be carried out at the expense of Sunagakure Village, which clearly does not take them seriously.

Granny Chiyo's attitude made Orochimaru shake his head and thought to himself, "Tsk... what an antique."

Spiritual beliefs are indeed important, but they can be guided and shaped by humans. In this regard, Sunagakure is far inferior to Konoha, who is too obsessed with things on the surface.

Among the common people and ordinary ninjas in Konoha, who would think that Naruto was once a companion with Danzo at the root? It was completely different sunshine and darkness.

Seeing the top management of Sunagakure like this, Orochimaru felt that it was no accident that the village was in its current situation.

However, he was already prepared for the current situation.

Turning his eyes to Kazekage who was a little embarrassed and unwilling to conflict with the village elders, Orochimaru chuckled, "Elder Chiyo seems to have misunderstood. I definitely don't mean to underestimate Sunagakure."

Granny Chiyo looked directly at Orochimaru with an aggressive gaze, "But you did this."

Chiyo is worthy of being the veteran of Sunagakure Village. After all, there are two types of old people in this world. One type is more afraid of death as they live, and gradually becomes more cowardly, such as Danzo, while the other type feels that they have lived enough.

, the more you live, the braver you become. In this mentality, you are really invincible.

After making the decision at this time, she didn't care about how strong Orochimaru was, she was very courageous and quite imposing.

Even Kazekage couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old man is really brave. Although thinking like this is a bit damaging to morale, he can't remain completely calm under Orochimaru's momentum, and he is far inferior to the elder Sunagakure at the moment.

"This is just a misunderstanding."

Orochimaru did not look at Chiyo, but stared directly at Luo Sha, and suddenly smiled, "Have you never thought about where the people of Loulan will go after losing the protection of the dragon vein and carrying the funds after the transaction?"

This question made both the aggressive Chiyo and the pondering Kazekage slightly startled.

Indeed, without the protection of dragon veins, it would be impossible for the Loulan people to establish a foothold in the desert. Not to mention natural disasters, man-made disasters alone would be difficult to avoid.

The people of Loulan at that time were almost the same as the children holding gold in their hands. Even Sunagakure wanted to play a role as a robber.

"In the transaction, I did not promise to give Queen Loulan too much protection." Orochimaru grinned slightly, "But Sunagakure can do this."

"A sufficient population and a large amount of funds... I don't need to remind you too much of what this means to Sunagakure Village at this time."

When Chiyo Granny and Kazekage Rasa met each other, their eyes lit up.

They were moved.

Compared with the following conditions, Orochimaru's previous discount can only be said to be a small favor.

Putting aside the issue of population for the moment, the funds used to trade Loulan must be huge. If the Loulan people carrying this money stay in Shayin Village, it is almost like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. It is profitable for the village no matter what.

This deal is no longer the original one of 'Sunagakure cooperates in acting, Orochimaru gives a partial discount on the surgery', but divides Loulan, one side gets the dragon vein, and the other side gets Loulan's population and a lot of funds.

According to this calculation, Orochimaru did not underestimate Sunagakure Village. Both parties stood on the transaction table as equals.

But in fact, Sunagakure Village can be even more profitable.

"You said before that you wouldn't give Loulan too much protection..."

After Granny Chiyo made eye contact with Kazekage, her gaze turned to Orochimaru in front of her, "What level is it exactly at?"

"It's easy to say, but it won't cause Loulan to be hacked."

Orochimaru grinned, revealing two rows of sharp white teeth, "Don't be too greedy in Sand Hidden Village. This deal is not just between you and me. Queen Loulan also has a seat."

The rioting natural energy of the Dragon Vein still needs the comfort of Queen Loulan, so naturally he will not completely throw it aside after the transaction.

If it were that simple, it would be better to just rely on the previous sandstorm to bury everyone.

Granny Chiyo frowned when she heard this. In fact, her question was just a test, but Orochimaru's attitude made people very concerned.

If Loulan were to integrate into Sunagakure Village next, Orochimaru's protection would be too much of an eyesore, almost equivalent to burying a nail in Sunagakure Village.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

"Please don't overthink it. I have no interest in Sunagakure Village."

Orochimaru waved his hand, "It's just a limited protection. As long as you don't go too far, I won't stand up for 'normal' village integration at all."

The huge power of the Dragon Vein will naturally not be used just once. He should maintain a good relationship with Queen Loulan, but this does not mean that he will meet all the requirements of the other party.

Since the people of Loulan will enter Shayin Village in the future, they will be annexed and integrated into the general trend. It is meaningless to fight against them. He will only make the process smoother and not cause too much unnecessary harm.

.

Although there are indeed three parties on the transaction table, except for Orochimaru and Sunagakure Village, the third party is really weak and can only play both sides.

But this is already a pretty good deal.

If Queen Loulan hadn't been able to control the dragon veins and was targeted by Orochimaru and Sand Hidden Village, she would have been completely swallowed up.

But now, Orochimaru has obtained Dragon Vein, an assistant who can control natural energy stably, Sunagakure Village has received a large amount of funds and population, and has the opportunity to get rid of the decline in recent years, and Queen Loulan has also successfully preserved their son.

civil.

Everyone is a winner, it's a win-win situation.

There are no losers on the trading table at all, or in other words, losers have no chance to be on the trading table.

"..."

Grandma Chiyo and Kazekage Rasa had been thinking about it for a long time, and they both felt that there was no reason to refuse, and that this was actually an excellent opportunity.

"The conditions are very attractive." Granny Chiyo's attitude also softened, which was completely different from before, "So, what exactly do you want us to do?"

"I said it from the beginning, it was just a show."

Orochimaru smiled, then picked up the teapot from the Kazekage table and poured himself a cup.

…

After leaving the Kazekage's office, Orochimaru showed a smile.

In fact, there is another link behind this transaction.

Although the surgery in Konoha has been fully entrusted to Tsunade, the 'physical strengthening surgery' itself is still a good money-making tool.

When people from Loulan came to Shayin, in order to live and gain a foothold, funds would flow to Shayin Village. And after that, through surgery, the extra funds would return to his hands.

This would not have happened originally, because Sunagakure Village's finances were indeed very tight, but after he injected new capital flows into it, this stagnant water began to flow again.

This is also a ring, involving three parties.

He seemed to have given a lot, but it didn't take long for him to take it all back.

As for the Sunagakure Village that had become stronger again because of the living water, Orochimaru didn't care.

This is not to underestimate the power of the Sand Ninjas, but he will not give them the opportunity to stand on his opposite side.

On the contrary, if the conditions are right, you can still use it to your advantage.

"The next step is to wait." Orochimaru licked his lips, "Waiting to see the queen tomorrow, she is still in the dark."
